Day 4 & 5 of 365 – Now we are talking the business of farming.
Yes, I did skip my daily blog yesterday, on this public holiday that remembers the victims of the Cassinga Massacre. Approximately six hundred people were killed in 1978 when the South African Defence Force attacked South West Africa’s People Organization (SWAPO) camp that was located at Cassinga in Angola.
That is not to say we do not work, but the work was more like visiting old friends. We have a new bull, who has already made lady acquaintances, and there does not seem to be any animosity between Borris and Ganamede, our existing bull.
Mable of course, in all her maternity glory, was seemingly shy to nibble on the Salt Bush treat I brought her, opting to approach the nibble from behind. I’ve extolled the virtues of Salt Bush before (Kapps Farm Spring Plant Sale 2-3 October ), and happy to share that if you are in the area, you can pick up a few plants at the Luv Earth kiosk at Finkenstein, as well as some of my farm fresh health conscious produce.
After bragging about a lively Sourdough starter on day 3, it has gone a bit flat, 
so I have juiced up today’s feeding with half cake flour and half brown bread flour. Let us see if that does the trick.
Today was a full-on farm production day, working the sheep. I am going to cut the verbiage short and leave it to the video clips to explain. Let us just say, the day ended with animal medicine having to be applied to my heel – Subpoena is merciless on ticks
!
Hope your weekend ahead is tick-less. Ciao for now.
Love reading your blogs! They have the makings of a BOOK!~!!
